Pullen Lane

You'll discover why Pullen Lane has earned its reputation as a rewarding medium-difficulty escape near Kenilworth. This 4.1 km route delivers enough technical challenge to keep experienced drivers engaged without demanding extreme vehicle modifications, making it ideal for those looking to build their off-road skills. The gentle 3% grade means you won't face bone-jarring descents, but rather a steady, manageable incline that tests your vehicle's traction and your line selection through varied terrain.

The drive takes you through classic Queensland bushland, where you'll navigate a mix of rutted sections and rocky outcrops that demand respect and precision. Tree-lined stretches offer welcome shade during the warmer months, while open areas provide views of the surrounding landscape. The trail's relatively short 22-minute completion time shouldn't fool you—this is genuinely technical ground that rewards smooth throttle control and careful steering. You'll encounter sections where undercarriage clearance matters and traction control becomes your best friend.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained with properly inflated tyres suited to mixed terrain. Bring water and basic recovery gear, as mobile reception can be patchy in this area. The trail's popularity among the Newtracs community—with five successful traversals logged—speaks to its accessibility and appeal. Whether you're in a capable SUV or a dedicated 4WD, Pullen Lane offers genuine adventure without overcommitting to extreme off-roading.
